Tom reads from Jeremiah.

 

Rosemary's Blessing of the Week.

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;

To find the best in others;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you lived.

This is to have succeeded.

 

Success – Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

May you succeed!

Rosemary's Blessing: 

May you live a long life full of gladness and health,
With a pocket full of gold as the least of your wealth.
May the dreams you hold dearest be those which come true,
The kindness you spread keep returning to you.
May the friendships you make be those which endure,
And all of your grey clouds be small ones for sure.
And trusting in Him to Whom we all pray,
May a song fill your heart every step of the way.

Rosemary’s Blessing 

       

Oh God of humor enable us to laugh at your mischievous plans. 

Life can become serious during these cold winter months, and our hearts can become heavy and burdened with responsibilities, decisions and trying to keep everyone happy. 

Let us look for the funny things that happen, the unexpected surprise that catches us off-guard, along with the incongruences that we encounter. 

Smile, snicker, giggle, give a belly laugh, and spontaneously guffaw. 

You will be amazed at how God works through laughter.

A special financial report from Grace, our board president:

On behalf of John Stack Ministries I would like to present the financials for the first quarter of 2015.

 First we want to thank the community for their past and present generosity. We are so thank for all you do and contribute.

 The starting balance on January 1 was approximately 14,000.00 and ending March 31 with a balance of 12,000.00.  That being said we are running 2000.00 short for the first quarter.

We have a reserve amount of 38,000.00 that we have available to tap into if our situation requires.

  Weekly expenses are approximately 1200.00 per week which includes rent, insurance, music and salary. Rosemary reports the weekly income in the weekly blog so the community can see our weekly deficits which can range from 200.00 to a 400.00 short fall each week.

 If you are able to contribute a small amount more each month we would greatly appreciate your help.  We will review our financials in 6 months and report our situation at that time.

 Thank you to the choir for the outstanding music, the family’s who attend, Kevin and Georgie and also to John Stack, John Cade, and Mike Carroll for their inspirational homilies, in making us think about our daily lives and wanting  to be better individuals. And to Rosemary for all you do that doesn’t get mentioned, as well as your endearing end of mass prayers!

Thank you,  Grace
